RULES OF ADMINISTRATION, 

(Adopted by the Faculty, April 16, 1904, 

AND 

Approved by the Board of Trustees, April 22, 1904.) 



RULES OF ADMINISTRATION, 

COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT, 
CLARK UNIVERSITY, 

ADOPTED BY FACULTY, APRIL 16, 1904. 



I. Faculty Meetings. 

Regular faculty meetings shall be held the Thursday 
before the fourth Friday of each month of the academic 
year. Special meetings may be held whenever the fac- 
ulty or President may appoint. A special meeting shall 
be called by the secretary of the faculty whenever a 
written request to do so is presented to him signed by 
three members of the faculty. 

II. Committees. 

The President shall appoint such standing and special 
committees of the faculty as he shall deem necessary. 

III. Registration. 

Every student is expected to register on the first day 
of each academic year. 

Changes in registration for the second semester must 
be reported to the Dean at the end of the Christmas re- 
cess, and final arrangement of courses, if different from 
the first semester, must be filed before the second se- 
mester opens. 

8 



ly. Attendance. 

Each student is expected to be present at every exer- 
cise of his course, and is responsible for his attendance 
in each subject to the instructor in that subject. 

It shall be the duty of each instructor to report at 
each monthly faculty meeting: the individual record of 
each student in his courses. This report on the work 
of each individual student shall include a statement of 
the exact number of absences of the student, to which 
shall be added an estimate by the instructor reporting 
of the value and significance of such delinquencies. 

V. Record of Students' Standing. 

The success or failure of students shall be recorded 
on their subject cards in the Dean's office at the end of 
each year, or on the completion of a subject. This 
record shall be made in ink by the respective instruct- 
ors in such a way as to indicate most characteristically 
each instructor's degree of approval. 

Each student's card shall be open at all times to his 
own inspection and to that of any instructor. Each 
student is expected to maintain a constant interest in 
the current results of his work, and it shall be the un- 
remitting aim of instructors to place every emphasis 
upon correct habits of work such as can be assured 
only by the best daily effort of which the student is ca- 
pable. 

It shall be the duty of the Dean to record on the back 
of the subject cards, under date of their occurrence, all 
votes or recommendations of the faculty regarding stu- 
dents, including action on petition from students ; and 
it shall further be his duty to report at once to the stu- 
dent these acts of the faculty. When such report is a 

9 



warning- or declaration of probation, it shall be accom- 
panied by a written statement to the student showing 
the exact intent of the faculty. 

VI. Examinations. 

No part of the academic year shall be devoted to 
preparation for examinations by the general omission 
of regular college exercises. Examinations and re- 
views may be held as a part of the method of instruc- 
tion. In examinations, as in other exercises of any 
course, the insiructor is expected so to regulate the time 
requirements made of students as to avoid all encroach- 
ment upon other courses. 

VII. Advanced Standing. 

Admission to advanced standing for the bachelor's 
degree shall be upon such conditions as the faculty 
shall deem necessary to satisfy themselves that the 
candidate completes the equivalent of some group, and 
in no case shall a student be admitted as a candidate 
for the bachelor's degree on residence at the college of 
less than one year. 

Students applying for advanced standing must pre- 
sent good reasons for leaving the college from which 
their credentials come ; they must present such credits 
as they can, all of which shall be subject to verification 
by the character of the work done in this college in 
such a period of probation as the faculty shall decide 
upon in each case. 

VIII. Special Students. 

There may be admitted as special students such per- 
sons as show an earnest desire to pursue particular 

10 



studies, but who, on account of age or for other reasons, 
are not eligible for admission as regular students, such 
persons to pay the full tuition fee and be subject to the 
rules governing regular students, but not to be consid- 
ered as candidates for a degree. 

IX. Advisers. 

Upon entrance to the college each student shall be 
assigned to an adviser, to whose advisory group he 
shall belong during his undergraduate residence at the 
college, unless transferred for good reason. 

It shall be the duty of advisers to keep duplicates of 
the subject cards of the students constituting their ad- 
visory groups, which shall be kept corrected by com- 
parison with the ofl&cial cards. It shall be incumbent 
upon advisers to familiarize themselves both with these 
records and with the work of their students in all sub- 
jects in anticipation of records. 

To further this purpose it shall be the duty of advis- 
ers to acquaint themselves as soon and as persistently 
as possible with all the details of scholarship, all condi- 
tions, and all impediments of the students in their ad- 
visory groups. Careful scrutiny of all the office records 
of an adviser's students is a necessity of the advisory 
function. 

X. Contests with other Institutions. 

(Adopted by the Faculty, February 2, 1903.) 

Students of the college shall not engage in contests 
with the representatives of other institutions, nor in any 
public entertainment, excepting such as the faculty shall 
approve.
